Abstract: Since 1967, approximately 57.4 million striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and 56.2 million hybrids (M. saxatilis x M. chrysops) have been stocked into Texas waters. Fish for stocking were cultured using techniques described in this manual. (p. ii)

Report examining cultured paddlefish, their muscle proteins, and their eyes to see if protein electrophoresis is a useful way to study stock dynamics. The report indicates this is an inadequate means of study.

Abstract: This report documents the 1991 Texas striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and hybrid striped bass (M. saxatilis x M. chrysops) production and compares 1991 data to those collected in previous years. (p. iii)

Report documenting information about the striped bass culture program, including data from the year 1992 compared to previous years with recommendations and improve the program.

Report documenting statistics related to commercial fishery landings and ex-vessel value statistics of finfish and shellfish harvested from Texas bays and the Gulf of Mexico off Texas.

Report documenting annual pressure and landings estimates for private-boat, party boat and head boat fishing in Texas bays and passes.

Report examining the thermal tolerance of three age groups of paddlefish including the methodology of the study and the experimental results of the study.

Report documenting statistics related to commercial fishery landings and ex-vessel value of statistics of finfish and shellfish harvested.

Report on the total-length to wing-span relationship of the Atlantic stingray, cownose ray, and southern stingray in order to facilitate the conversion of wing-span to total-length measurements in population surveys of rays that have damaged tails.

The report includes annual pressure and landings estimates for a private boat, party boat and head boat fishing in Texas bays and passes.

Report on the results of a study examining the efficacy of immersing striped bass fingerlings in a solution of tetracycline as a marking method in order to gather accurate statistics on the survival rate of striped bass fingerlings.

Report detailing the results of a study comparing the catch of eastern market oysters in .5 and 1 minute tows to determine if the interpretation of the data is affected.

Report documenting statistics related to fish stocking in Texas bays between November 1977 and October 1980.

Abstract: In 1990, 183,896,448 red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) fry and fingerlings were stocked into Texas bays. Upper Laguna Madre received 34,887 fingerling spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus). Galveston Bay and Sabine Lake received 337,880 striped bass (Morone saxatilis) fingerlings.

Report documenting statistics related to commercial fishery landings including trends in quantities and values of various species.

The objective of the report is to summarize catches of non-reef oyster samples collected in upper and lower Laguna Madre during January 1986- December 1988.

Report summarizing biological information on rudd used by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to ban the possession, transportation, and propagation of rudd in 1990.

Report detailing studies on the white shrimp of Texas, including catch rates, mean length, and size comparison with past years.

Abstract: In 1989, 82,139,452 red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) fry and fingerlings were stocked into Texas bays. Matagorda and East Matagorda Bay received 74,313 fry and fingerling spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus). Galveston Bay received 5,049,000 striped bass (Morone saxatilis) fry and 349,240 fingerlings.

Abstract: This report documents the 1989 Texas striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and hybrid striped bass (M. saxatilis x M. chrysops) production and compares 1989 data to those collected in previous years. Recommendations are offered to improve existing procedures and methods. (p. ii)

Abstract: Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were collected from South Bay, Texas and induced to spawn in the laboratory. These oysters were conditioned for 12 weeks on continuous flow using Matagorda Bay water. Spawning procedures used resulted in approximately two million larvae. Results indicate that Eastern oysters from South Bay, Texas can be successfully spawned in the laboratory using established procedures.

Report on study of spotted seatrout, including spawning trials, water quality influence, survival rates, and returns.

Report on the results of a study to test whether Eastern Oysters could be induced to spawn out of season in Texas. The study concluded that successful spawning of Eastern oysters on a year round basis is possible using continuous flow procedures.

Report on the procedures used by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to culture of red drum fingerlings for use in supplementing the stock in Texas water ways.
